That is great and interesting that your wife's picture was used to find the one who stole the scarecrow. Too bad the kid that stole it also burned it. Thanks for the story.

Well if you weren't bound to be famous with Vitamin C-10, you've got an abdominal fitness modeling career ahead of you. ;) Should I get in line early for your autograph? :lol:

Saw your post on FB, & I hate to hear all that hard work got ruined. Hope that young fellow responsible learns a valuable lesson.

I'll reply to y'alls post when I get to a pc.

I'm heading to Dawsonville Ga for my last show of the year tomorrow. I got it cleaned and ready to go. I hope to find some good fall colors for a backdrop for some pics.

The pictures just dont do this truck justice in my opinion ,it needs to be seen up close and personal to see all the details .

Thank you guys

I've thought long and hard about selling my truck and right now I'm leaning towards selling it.

I've always wanted to do a full resto and when I got sober I started this truck shortly after. Along with my faith in God this truck keep my mind busy. During those years I missed a lot of time with my family. My girls are 13 and 10 and I don't want to miss anymore time with them. When I'm setting at the car shows I think of the time I'm missing with the family.

I'm sure that I would regret selling it if I do, but not as much not watching my girls grow up. They will be getting busier with school stuff and I want to be there. After they get a life of their own then I can build something else.

I still haven't fully decided what I will do. If I do decide to sell then I have to figure out a selling price. I know what it appraised for, but that doesn't mean much. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay.

C@rnut001 11-11-2013 09:49 PM

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
Well, Alan, you have a great reason for considering selling it. Of course, you could just store it away in your garage until they are grown, but then it would need redone again maybe. Good luck with your decision about selling your truck and God bless your family.

:agree: and I'm glad I can always refer to your thread to study the amazing and awesome work you've accomplished with Vitamin C-10!:metal: Especially since I see you added A/C...:haha: Just kidding with that last bit, please don't hate me!!!:lol:

Say it isn't so. All that hard work, and you will never get what you have in it counting the blood, sweat and tears. I understand why you want to sell it, but why not let Vitamin C-10 be a part of the family? We did that while raising our kids. We drove the cars I built all over the place with them in them, including the Corvettes (today you can't do that). We even drove up to San Francisco in our Baja Bug and the back seat I made into a carpeted platform. They had a ball back there. But with your kids being 13 & 10, they are getting too big to do that. I feel for ya, and hope you make the right decision.
What does the family say? Did you take a vote? ;)

clemdaddy 11-12-2013 04:59 PM

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
hey alan, its totally what you think and feel but selling your truck can't be the only solution. its a family member too. those girls are going to need a vehicle when they're old enough (3 yrs) and by then you will have regret for selling it a thousand times.

i vote for the family vote, pretty sure the family knows how much it means to you.

kuddos to you buddy. just to be that considerate, its big.:metal:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
Keep the truck Alan. I've been watching you build this truck since I came aboard and now it's finished. You can back off now and enjoy it. Drive it. Take it to a show occasionally. I figure it's very hard to back off a little after you've invested so many years getting to this point but this is what you've been working for. I think it's something you will regret. Just my 2 cents as they say.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 
If it's "in the way" just drain the fuel and park it. I have a couple project cars that I'd never sell but don't have the time for that are stored, one hasn't been touched in about 12 years. I think you'd regret selling it after all you've put into it.
